A fire broke out in the Gniste home at 4am this morning. (It was not arson.) Gunilla and the kids got out but Håkan had to fight through flames and was badly burned. It seemed as he was getting dressed that his clothes caught fire. Gunilla went back in and found him as he could not see; in the process of leading him out her arms have suffered burns.
Håkan has lost his hair and has burns on 80% of his body. His face was initially thought to be badly burned but Janne says it is not as bad as they first thought, Praise God! At the moment he is in a sedated medicated coma but, though severely burned, his doctors are positive and say that his injuries are not life threatening. Please don't give up praying! Tomorrow they will start to operate on him. For what no one is sure.
You can imagine that it has been quite chaotic, as he was airlifted by helicopter to Linköping, a good distance away, and Gunilla and Bella (their youngest girl), have been in another hospital in Trollhättan. Then there are the foster children to take care of as well!
Dave Richards will fly over on the early flight tomorrow to help for several days.
Thank you so much everyone for your great support for this precious family. Please pray for Janne and Elisabet as they seek to lead the Fristaden Church through this testing time! Our God is great and He is able to save and we thank Him for His help so far!
The church has just had a great meeting in Uddevalla, where many of the city pastors and priests joined them to pray and break bread for the deliverance of Håkan and Gunilla and family.
